sweet pOfnfGes~

OF tho varieties Of sweet potatoes
most generally cultivated Cor table
use, that known as the Georgia yam
or sugar yam, is considered best tor
the Southern taste, which demands a
wet" potato. This variety, however,
IL not very productive. nor will it
bear late planting. Next in quality
and more productive, is the variety
known az the pumpkin yac, which
js deep yellow when cooked. hence
its name. The flesh Of the Georgia
yam is Of a ligh, yellow when cook'
ed. For the Northern market, the
Jersey sweet or Nansemond,
which ia even less %prodnctiTe than
the Georgia yam, is the favorIte,
and indeed almos; tho only variety
that is saleahle in those markets,
because it meets the demand for a
dry potato. For stock, the more
productive varieties. such as the
st. Domingo and Hayti yam, are
preferred. Under identical circum-
stances, these two varieties will
mualIy produce two or three times
az much as the Georgia yam.
The fact now we'll established
that sweet potatoes will cross with

Thus far, no satisfactory explanation
has been given. Some have suggest;
ed that though no aeed are produced
in this lstitdue. the plants flower
and that the characteristics Of varie
ties are blended through the in
iuence of pollen. This is by nc
means probable, since the pollen
effects only the ovulc, which failing
to develop, codd produce no effect
upon the plant others have sug
gesled that either roots or stem!
may. when planted in close proxmi

Raise Your Own Bacon.

Bacon ia on q rise in price. Onr
farmers have no supply on hand
and are therefore at the
mercy Of foreign markets. They
have been buying bacon all year
and loads Of money have been sent
away for a prime necessity that
could have been produced at home
with all ease. There is no sense in
such a system of farming and no
excuse for it. We do not suppose

one result to any snch folly if
